ABSTRACT
This chapter contains extracts from a number of Black theologians in Britain whose work offers interesting and challenging ways in which the biblical text has been re-contextualized and reassessed. In order to explicate the central theological norm of liberation, from within the contexts of Black existential experience. Black theology in Britain rightly eschews that form of self-evidential normativity, but nevertheless continues to recognize the importance of this text as an essential source for talking about God in the context of history, human life and Black existence. This chapter contains work by the likes of Hyacinth Sweeney, Joe Aldred, Mukti Barton, Michael Jagessar, Kate Coleman and Valentina Alexander. It confirms the vibrancy and the creativity with which Black theology in Britain has and continues to engage with biblical texts. The chapter focuses on the four approaches that are used by womanist theologians to read the Bible.
